Seks Bomba’s "Somewhere In This Town" is a cross between your best
surf-instro and spy thriller movie soundtrack band. They merge some
excellent twang and instrumental by employing divergent methods. The
best of both worlds are engaged. What you will hear is pieces of traditional
surf and modern technology with a twist for a snappy and fresh sound,
much like a cool sea breeze coming off the wake of large wave, a musical wave.
The vocals are those that you would hear playing in the background
of a James Bond flick from the sixties. "It Takes Two To Tango", an
original, is throwback that is done very well. Bacharach’s "Casino
Royale" is given the full treatment, and it sounds great. Mancini’s
"Charade" would make any composer proud. The instrumentals like "Matt’s
Bossa" are excellent examples of the group’s ability to implement
sounds that are tropical and inviting while using a sexy saxophone
to make it sound upbeat and stylish all at the same time.
I really look forward to every Seks Bomba release. They have the
knack for mixing it up by using all the styles available to them in
the genre so it never gets boring or stale. This CD is highly recommended.
